Who are they talking about? It's kind of a limited adjective.
ahem, on to more constructive discourse:
JTK, my brother drove from Vancouver to Mexico, then Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica & Panama. At Panama City, he was advised to not go any further, as gringos were targets in the 'no man's land ' south of there.
My feeling upon return to home are similar to yours. I have worked extensively in the US (Pittsburgh, Teaneck NJ) and have always welcomed the comfortable feeling of viewing Toronto from the sky upon my return. Also, driving across the boarder from Blaine Wash, into White Rock BC, always gets my heart pumping, as the Peace Arch goes by, and I find smooth roads with gardened boulevards replacing the streets of the US behind.
Sometimes it seems like we are overtaxed, and underutilized ( to speak to a barbed point brought up earlier) but we are a big nation of only 30 mill (and how many of us are actually tax payers? ) people and doing a damn good job. I admit there's lots of room for improvement, but as a nation, we will work it out regardless of the Ann Coulter clones out there.
